The ECP 1 phonostage caters for both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges with gain selection being made by a simple and easy to access button on the back panel of the unit – I’ve used both MM and MC cartridges during this review and with all it has proved to be pretty much silent.

The first thing that grabbed me about the Electrocompaniet was the bass. It fair bounces along and has great pace and power whilst managing to go deep too. The old favourite “Rumours” was duly dug out and bass lines were delivered in manner that immediately got the foot tapping. On dub reggae (Dub Syndicate’s “Strike the Balance”) the deep and powerful bass was reproduced with great control and clout. Listening to the “Orgues Historiques D’Europe” on the Harmonia Mundi label it became clear that bass reproduction is where this phonostage really excels.

The upper registers of a wide range of music are reproduced with a great amount of detail being evident, but never with a hint of harshness or brashness. Steel stringed acoustic guitars were reproduced particularly beautifully, with a great realism to the sound and detail by the bucket load. Likewise the midrange of recordings was presented with striking clarity and again detail, with female voice on This Mortal Coil’s “It’ll end in Tears” album being full of emotion.  The word I would choose to use when listening to the high and mid frequencies is “transparent” which is a word I know is is bandied around a good deal in reviews, but in this case it is fully deserved.

I’m a bit of a soundstage junky and love to have music presented in a wide and deep manner and the ECP 1 certainly doesn’t disappoint. The stage is wide, deep and accurate with individual instruments being easy to place on the Symphonic Band track of the Ortofon “Test” record I recently acquired. Back to “Rumours” and the beautiful “Songbird” which is portrayed in such a way that the piano and lone voice of Christine McVie  in the large empty theatre is full of ambiance and emotion; her voice and the piano appear small and vulnerable in the large space.
